The Tannese ISLANDERS have the

for tho canoes, and ducks, and children
that they seee there. Egede tells Is
that the Esquimaux thought that some
Of the stars had been men and different
sorts of animals OF fish. In the South
Pacific islands dying men viii announce
their intention of becoming a star, and
even mention the particular part of the
heavens they are to be looked for. The
bushman regards the more conspicuous
stars as men, lions, tortoises, ETC.,
while he sees in the milky way some
wood ashes thrown up by a girl into
the sky, that people might see their
way home by night.
To the Australian two lager stars in
the forelegs Of Centaurus were two
brothers who speared Tehingala to
death, the east stars of Crux being the
points of the spears that pierced his
body. And the indians of America,
who told OF the fisherman who once
trespassed in heaven in quest of per-
petual sunshine and was shot by an
arrow from one of the celestials, could
point to the Fisher stars, while the
arrow could be seen in the fisherman's
tail. We who are accustomed 70 think
of the vast multitude of unknown
worlds and Of the sun simply as the
sun-a~ conception against the impiety
of which eve Seneca protested--can
hardly enter into the feelings of the
Esquimaux, to whom the milky way
represents in all reality the vast con-
course of the dead, OF to the ALBANIAN
ese, to whom the sun was literally o
woman and the mother of the stars.
But a goodIy number of legends in
actual European folk lore prevent the
necessity of relying solely on the evil
dence of savage ideas in proof of the
reality of this method of regarding or
explaining the heavenly bodies. Every
thing in existence was apparently once
regarded as human or thought of under
human attributes, as Illustrated i d

ence, only excepting from the oath one

it was not as human rs the rest. but be-
cause it was too young to understand
the %solemnity of an oath. And when
Bladder met his death from the mistle-
toe, not only men !amented him, but

why He Wanted To Laugh.

DIR. Talmage told me the other day
that he never suffered so much from
the proprieties as once when he ought
to have risen to make the opening
prayer of a service, but could not do it
on account Of an o~yerpowering desire
to laugh. He was In 4 6oan.ry church
sitting alone on a little platform wait
ing for the minute when ne should be-
gin, and gravely preparing his mind,
when the door opened and a gentleman
and two ladies entered, They were
city people, and they wanted the fact
known. The ladies were very expen-
sively dressed, but the man was a curl
ositY. He was ~appareled with the care
of a debutante at a white house ball.
His eyebrows and mustache were dyed
Jet black, and his cheeks showed traces
of powder and paint, while his shape
suggested STAYS. He strutte1 to a seat
with the air of a peacock on parade.
The ladies sat down and their escort
Hourished in after them and dropped
himself between them on a bench. The
bench broke. Then a stirring scene
was enacted. The gentleman had
fallen through the floor and was caught
between the sp~lintered ends of the seat.
He wiggled helplessly and lost his eye
glasses and cane and hat. The look Of
misery and fright on his face succeed
ing the proud dignity that had previ-
pusly sat there was too much for DR..
Talmage. He wanted to get out in a
ten-acre field and whoop. He could
not help laughing, and had to put his
handkerchief up to his face and pretend
that he had a very bad cough.-Ram5ler,

Mayor Hewitt and the Knights.

New York Special: For some time past
rumors have been current hat Mayor
Hewitt had offered to let his workmen run
the Trenton iron works, owned by Cooper,
Hewitt & Co., provided they paid 6 per
cent on the capital invested. Mayor Hew.
lit was asked about this story. He said
there was very little in it, Some OF the
Knights OF Labor had called on him re-
Gently, and he told them il there was to be
q strike at his works they would shut
down for good, as the works had not paid
any profit for several years. Incidentally
he remarked: He would be glad to have
any one take the works off his hands and
pay 6 per cent on the capital invested. Ii
the men thought there was money in the
business they might try the experiment OF
running it, but the first thing they would
have to do would be to reduce their wages
20 per cent. What he said a more in

OF all the modest newspaper men at

The Philadelphia Record. probably is
entitled to the cake, and OF him the fol-
lowing little story is told: On n oc-
casion he was going to a country town
In an open stage, the driver Of which
was a garrulous old fellow, and the
other passengers two old maids and q
little girl. Mac being on the seat with
the driver. One of the ladies was an
effected, ~overnice kind of a female, who
liked to talk, and she kept the driver
busy. She was dilating upon. the adj
ganfages of city life:
"And then, besides all this, she
said, things are SO much cheaper in
the city"
"Yes'm," replied the driver.
why, only yesterday I saw nose
sold in 4 store Tor 20 cents that would
cost so in the country"
This was a poser. and it was followed
by q period of silence, broken BY the
little girl, who remarked:

Advice TO Young Men.

And as for the men we respect, let
them give up q part Of the time they
spend in money-making to put on the
polish that may seem a superiuity, but
which women love, nevertheless, as
they love all superfluities. A few trifi-
ing airs and graces, a suavity of speech,
a neatly turned compliment, aprofound
bow-these are ba~gatelles. it is true. but
in their way they work wonders and
open a higaway to the hearts Of the
simpler and weaker sex that has before
been closed by gates of adamant. They
are easily picked up in youth, but the
old tongue trips awkardly oyer honeyed
words and phrases, and the stiff old
back at 40. odd can never achieve a bow
when is much better than none at all.
Even the men Of JJasa.heargg ST. Germin
every city has its Faubough St Ger
main-think better Of one possessing
these social embellishments. and there
is not in the world a talisman OF such
potent magic as the nameless and ire
sistable spell of a charming manner.
1t ought to be innate, of course, but it
can be- in a great measure acquired.
The plodders upon whom Dame for
tune is turning a dawning smile may
pause awhile on the way. The smile
and the good luck are bound t come,
the brighter and better for the delay,
and the young man who looks forward
TO one day being q man of millions may
just as well fit himself early for the
proud position he means to occupy.

small things cannot be over esti-
mated. The most propitious time
to commence to be faithful in
small things is early in life, and
70 begin the very hour, our atten-
ton is directed to it. To post
pone it, is to dream-it is studen-
dous folly.
BE FAITHFUL ~ KEEPTNG PROMISES.
3. Faithfulness does not de-
pend upon the Importance of the
matter involved. Every promise
is a pledge to fulfil an engagement
voluntarily made. Confidence
reposes in the integrity Of the
pledge. The nonfulfilment of
promise may disturb the plans
of many persons, and that dis
turbance points to him or her that
was unfaithful. No promise
SHOULD be violated, whether the
matter involved be of small or
great Importance, except when
circumstances are uncomfortable.
OF course it is distinctly under
stood, that promise should not
be made in regard to any matter,
that is IN itself wrong OF vicious.
A promise to do wrong is rotten
to the core. Excuses whose
ground work is not some uncon-
trollable circumstance, are too
often packed with ,capriciousuoss
or superciIiousness, or they spring
from the most woe-begon c
thoughtlcssness, or they come
froni an intensely selfish nature.
The nice sense Of justice which
respects the nights Of other peo-
pie is diseased. A promise IS the
bond Of the just man.
a PROMISE SHOULD NOT BE HASTILY
OR FLIPPANTLY MADE.
a. Can I keep the promise, if ]
make it is an important question.
Ii implies ability and integrity to
make good what is promised.
ought not promise to do what
know | can not perform, or what
l have no disposition to perform
when ! make the promise. But
even when the ability and integrI-
ty exist at the time the promise
is made, if no effort is made to
fulfil the pledge when it is due,
shows either treachery or an utter
lack in approaching and respect
ing the rights of others. There
can be no confidence when this
is the case. Worse still is it where
promises are forgotten, and their
ful6lment is studiously avoided al
the time the promise is due. Such
conduct is detestable. Such con
duct is not manly, and morality
that teaches it or suffers it, is {
counterfeit. 1t is a spurious
article. When the public sentl-
ment is lot shocked by such per
fdy, it is vicious. Morality OF
this subject is then in a state o
decay UnfaithfuIness in promi
ses always shakes confidence, ios
ters uncertainty and doubt, anc
depresses and lowers the tone o
society.
